[Mishmash] Can it really be?????

[Carole]

well, since i was already old in 2007 - i don't really feel any older today.
 i went to my daughter's annual new years eve party last nite.  not as many
there as usually because it started snowing and blowing around here in the
afternoon and the roads were pretty bad.  (we live a in a very small rural
town remember - no one cleans the streets and roads unles we get 6 or more
inches it seems - and the country roads are the worst).   we played a game
called catch phrase until people started to leave before midnite afraid they
wouldn't get home at all.  then we played a game called scene it - about
movies.  i was very bad at that one.  

this morning my friends called to see if i were going to go for coffee and i
still had my jammies on - i told them to come over here and watch the parade
with me so i had a house full of old women all morning.  i intend not to
leave my house today. 

 illinois just implemented a law today to have no smoking in all bars,
restaurants, private clubs even and smokers have to be 15 feet from a door
outside.   you know, i have been socially unacceptable with my smoking and
so have most of my friends.  we have coffee every morning to check up on
each other as we all live alone.   if someone isn't there and we didn't know
ahead of time it is time to start calling them.  we're really upset about
this law but will try it for awhile - if we decide coffee isn't fun anymore
we will all congregate at my house.   my non-smoking friends are as unhappy
about the law as my smoking friends.  i often wondered how the nazi's were
able to just round up all the jews and they all got on the trains and filed
into the showers.  i'm beginning to see more and more how that could have
happened - we just blindly do whatever our legislators deem right for all of
us and most of them are a bunch of hired blowhards.  they even want the
citizenry to report on people disobeying this law.  now, didn't the nazi's
implement that tattling on your neighbor plan?  ok - i've vented.  happy new
year you guys.
